Definitions
- This invention refers to a phase-shifting circuit for generating from a high frequency signal with a phase difference of 180.
- the principle of using a transistor to generate two signals with a phase difference of 180 is known from for example the book Data Transmission" by Bennett and Davey (interuniversity electronics series 1965), in which the two signals are obtained from the collector and the emitter respectively of the transistor.
- the parameters of a transistor are however greatly dependent on frequency, so that e.g. at frequencies in the VHF-range (30-300 MHZ) the phase shift between the signals from the collector and the emitter respectively of a transistor will not be 180.
- An object of the invention is to provide a phase-shifting circuit for generating, even at high frequencies, two signals with a phase difference of 180 e.g. for feeding a network for correction of delay distortion in a radio relay system, where it is of great importance that the two signals have a phase difference of 180 within the working frequency range.
- FIG. 1 shows a phase-shifting circuit according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows the phase difference between two output signals as a function of the frequency measured in phase-shifting circuits of three different types.
- FIG. I shows an embodiment of a phase-shifting circuit according to the invention.
- a transistor T according to the example a NPN-transistor is connected via a collector and an emitter resistance, R1 and R2 respectively to terminals El and E2 respectively of a direct voltage source.
- the resistance R1 is assumed to have the same value as the resistance R2.
- the phase-shifting circuit has an input A, connected to the base of the transistor T, and two outputs, B and C respectively from which the two signals having a phase difference of 180, are obtained.
- the outputs are connected to the collector and the emitter respectively of the transistor T via capacitors K1 and K2.
- a transformer N1, N2 with the transformation ratio l:l is connected so that one end of its winding N1 is connected to the output B and the other end of the winding N1 is connected to ground potential while one end of the winding N2 of the transformer is connected to the output C and the other end of the winding N2 is connected to ground potential.
- out of phase signal is generated at the collector and an in phase signal is generated at the emitter of the transistor.
- the output signals are passed via the coupling capacitors K1 and K2 respectively, to the output terminals B and C.
- FIG. 2 shows a diagram of the relationship between the phase difference 1 between the output signals and the frequency f within the frequency range 30-l 10 Mill, on one hand measured in known arrangements and on the other hand measured in the phase-shifting circuit according to the invention.
- the waveform I shows the phase difference 1 between the two output signals of an arrangement in which the two signals are obtained from the respective windings of a trans former. As is shown, only a phase difference lower than 180 can be produced and the phase difference decreases considerably with increasing frequency depending among other things upon stray capacitances of the windings.
- the waveform II shows the phase difference between two output signals at an arrangement, where the two signals are obtained from the col lector and the emitter respectively of a transistor amplifier. As can be seen, the phase difference as a.
- a phase-splitting amplifier for high-frequency signals comprising a transistor having base, emitter and collector electrodes, a direct voltage source having first and second terminals, the base of said transistor being adapted to receive the high-frequency signals, first resistance means for connecting said emitter electrode to said first terminal, second resistance means for connecting said collector electrode to said second terminal, a transformer having first and second windings, each of said windings having first and second ends, means for connecting the first ends of each of said windings to a constant DC potential, means for connecting the second end of said first winding to said collector electrode, and means for connecting the second end of said second winding to said emitter electrode, whereby the signals at said second ends of said windings generated in response to signals received by said base electrode have a phase difference of substantially l electrical degrees.
